Why in the fuck does there need to be more than one accuser?!

I’ve seen some commenters here say that the fact that Woody “only” molested one child is somehow enough evidence that he didn’t even do that. I think this is Law and Order: SUV’s fault. Somehow we all now believe we are experts on child molesters and their behavior and we just KNOW that there MUST be more because NO…

I am so irked that Black kids are viewed as adults at 10 and white folks can be kids ti they are 30 dead.

My point is that public condolences can be a little insincere and are performative. I don’t care about SJP, and don’t know that Kim is unstable. When there is a loss in my circle I private message people, usually something more than a sentence. What I’m talking about here is social norms. We shouldn’t rely on…

UGH this brings back memories of when my dad died 3 years ago. I had an old best friend from high school who became an extremely toxic part of my life, and this resulted in me basically ghosting her (which is shitty but I didn’t know how else to extract myself - this is after I had told her my feelings several times,…

This is so well stated. I wish more people understood that not everything sentiment should be expressed via social media.

Absolutely. My brother died suddenly 3 years ago, and if someone who hadn’t spoken to me in years (but knew how to contact me personally) took to social media to offer condolences, I would have been PISSSSSSSED. If SJP sincerely wanted to offer condolences, she should have done so privately. Her behavior comes of as…

I think SJP was wrong to mention the brothers death. It just needs to stop. these ladies are in their 50s, and they are still gossipy like teenagers. It’s weird. Grow up & stop talking about each other.

Eh, I totally lost my shit after my mom died. People handle grief differently and I think that is one thing no one should be judged on.

I understand that the advent of social media has changed our social mores, but there is still etiquette to follow after the death of someone you know or know through others. It is absolutely not the time to make public conciliatory gestures like Parker’s because you are making it about YOU. If you want to extend an…

I personally am not a huge fan of social media condolences. They are super casual, and I don’t like the public aspect of things. Send flowers, send a card, send a private message; there’s a tactful way to do it. ESPECIALLY if you are publicly fighting with a person and they suddenly experience a huge loss, be…

Good for Kim! I’m sick of the half assed condolences and thoughts and prayers. Social media makes it so easy to express our “condolences” AND it makes sure the rest of the world (or our followers) know just how much we “feeeeeeeeel”.

Yeah, super confusing for you, isn’t it? She has seven crack babies and you’re like “I’m support this”

I find this whole story incredibly problematic for many reasons.
Boundaries.
Savior complex.
The focus on his behaviors vs the cause and supports.

Who said anything about teaching? This isn’t a 6th grade class where you instruct students not to say a bad word. This is a college course designed to explore certain types of speech, including the boundaries, limits, and effects of that speech. He’s a terrible fucking professor if he stands up at the front of the…

There’s a problem with what you’re saying however.

Its in the title of the course

I dunno dude, if an example of hate speech used in such a manner can offend this quickly, maybe don’t sign up for a class with hate speech in the title. It really doesn’t sound like a required course for the general student body, these students picked it and then got upset when the class really did decide to cover the…

As much of a buffoon as this professor sounds like, he’s correct on that point. Making someone uncomfortable is not oppression, and to conflate the two is to make the concept of oppression nearly meaningless. If you don’t want to be confronted with words or concepts that make you uncomfortable, then maybe a class on…

Courses like this always make me chuckle.
